Listed is a precision CNCd, unfinished replacement or project guitar body. This body does not have a finish on it. It has been sanded to 220 grit.

Body Wood................  Alder

Bridge Compatibility.... Gotoh Hardtail Bridge (Stewmac part #0179).  No other bridge will fit without modifications.

String Ferrule Size...... 5/16"

Pick Up Configuration..... Hum x Single (direct mounted configuration- no pickguard required)

Output Jack................. 7/8" Side Mount Output Jack

Neck Pocket................Our neck pockets are cut to have a snug fit with 2 3/16" width (nominal dimensions), 6 string Fender Strat specs. (compatible with Strat style 21/22 fret, 25.5" scale necks.  ). READ THIS CAREFULLY-  Please note that to ensure you have a snug fit with your neck and to ensure plenty of adjustment space for height setup parameters, we purposely cut our neck pockets to the tight and shallow side of tolerance, meaning if you have a neck  in the middle to wide side of heel width tolerance, simple neck pocket adjustments may be required.   This is a feature to ensure an optimized fit of your neck.  We aim for .60-.62" pocket depth (if you need the pocket deeper, we will need to have a discussion before you purchase the body).  The exact pocket width is displayed in the item pictures.  We take the time to publish these dimensions so there are no surprises when you receive the body.  If the pictured dimensions do not make sense to you, or you do not have the resources to do simple neck pocket modifications (either widening or deepening the neck pocket), you should consult with a qualified and competent technician before attempting to assemble your own guitar. 

Weight......................... 4 lbs. 1 oz.

All wiring holes are predrilled.

Includes complimentary cavity covers (either clear or matte black).  The body will default ship with  clear covers.  If you would prefer  black covers, you must message us immediately after ordering.  If we do not get a message that you would prefer black covers, it will ship with  clear covers.  Additional cavity covers are for sale if you need them.

Please note that we intentionally build some slop into the fit of the cavity covers to account for finish build up inside of the cover cavity.  This is a feature to save you time and fitting work after you finalize the finishing process on the body. If you require zero gap around the cavity covers, you will need to plan on making them on your end.
